Its optical performance is comparable to that of a 127 mm apochromatic, but at a much more affordable price.
The Maksutov shows fine details of the Moon and planets and separates close binary stars, while providing sufficient aperture to observe deep sky objects.
This telescope, with its lightweight construction, precise design and optics from iOptron, is a pleasant surprise for the observer.
The MAK150 from iOptron is the only MAK in its class to include a dual-speed focuser for fine-tuning your images. It also includes an attachable spray shield - rare for a MAK - for better performance in cold temperatures.
